Dingle may be full of tourists but next Thursday (31st) will see the arrival of a very special group of visitors to West Kerry. The entire senior Munster Rugby squad will arrive in Dingle for the climax of the Great Munter Race which takes place during the week. Amongst the players expected by hosts Rugbaí Chorca Dhuibhne there are huge internationaI names like Paul O'Connell, Simon Zebo, Peter O'Mahoney and Conor Murray as well as Castleisland's JJ Hanrahan.

Having completed two days of challenges around the province, the players will arrive in Dingle on Thursday at about 7 pm where they will take part in various activities, including naomhóg rowing, and also fulfill their final challenge, a 'Selfie Hunt' around the town. Aided by young players from Rugbaí Chorca Dhuibhne, the players will follow clues 'As Gaeilge', tweet the selfies required and return to the Marina Centre where they will meet and greet the public.

On Friday morning at 1030 the team will have a full training session at the Rugbaí Chorca Dhuibhne grounds in Baile Loiscthe (near Carraig Church) which is open to the public.
